Shameless link to my blog for more details.

SmashingApps and FileDropper are teaming up to do their part for the environment. Average American consumes more than 700 pounds of paper per year, highest compared to anywhere else in the world.  Hundreds of thousands of trees are cut down per day to support the consumption of paper that can be easily avoided.

too late now.

I got mine. Free lifetime account is 40 years...

nice...

[patio]

They only want you to live 40 years ? ?

That seems unfair.

[Broni]

At my age, it'd be fair enough

Well hopefully that wouldn't be a lifetime fo rme.

i dont even think that i would make a dent in the amount of space their offering, propably just upload my Mythbuster episodes i got off of Itunes, and a few important docs.

It's more of an effort to get people to realize sharing documents/pictures is quick and easy. Although I'm sure everyone was already aware of online storage, I think the 250gb was just enough where users might decide they want a bit more online space...at a cost. It's really just a marketing strategy.

But I do like FileDropper. Rapidshare and MediaFire have become riddled with popups and ads. FileDropper is quick and easy on the eyes, even for free users.

In less that 40 years  250GB
coupons will come in Cereal Boxes.
On recycled rice paper.

Very true statement right there.

[evilfantasy]

You might be able to store 250gb on rice paper by then....

You might be able to store 250gb on rice paper by then....

Yes, but only after being recycled. The brand new rice paper is only use for above Terabyte storage. The recycled is good at 250GB

and the storage capacity of Vellum Parchment is around the 20 Yottabyte mark per square metre.

what the heck is a Yoda-Byte?

i've heard of Peta-Byte but this is a new story.

[BC_Programmer]

Yoda-byte... No yotta-byte. Yoda Bite is from that secret easter egg where Yoda had rabies during that Dagobah scene.

I believe it was 1024 Peta Bytes.... or was it Peta... Exa... THEN Yotta....


just look up metric system prefixes

thanks for the info BC. lol Yoda-Byte...
